• Kentucky
• Montana
• New Jersey
• New York
• Ohio

Election day is only on a Tuesday because it was convenient for people back then because they took a while to travel. Also, election day is not extended into other days because the government was afraid that it may change people's opinions on who they vote for.

Deval Patrick (Governor)
Martha Coakley (Attorney General)
William Galvin (Secretary of Commonwealth)
